Ted - Re"And the basis for your conclusion is that taxes have remained at a certain percentage of income over time. So what....that means nothing at all..its a number...it does not address changes..."

There is another change that Tim does not address is constant $$. If you take $0.35 in 1975 it is $1.00 today. So assuming that there was NO population growth and NO increase in needs, you would have to spend 3 times as much today to equal yesterday.

Tim says there was a 75% CA budget growth from '78 to present that sounds like a starvation diet to me. This starvation diet placed CA school spending in the recent past at 49th in the nation below every state except Mississippi. What an accomplishment.
